I was hoping to run with you. But in your email you said I'd have to recruit and be an operations manager first. I don't have that experience, and for now, am not interested in that kind of work. I'm intent on just finding freight and getting it from A to B. But as a collegue told me, the only...

I misunderstood... this is my first time hearing of that rule. Geez!!! What the hell do they want from us??? Now they're just asking for more accidents! They're basically forcing a tired driver to go 8 hours before switching.

Our own boss? Nah... we just have more freedom than most other industries. If we were our own boss, we could raise our rates just like every other business. We have no control over what we get per mile other than working towards less dh. Unless you get your own loads, that is.

who are you talking about, and what didn't you understand?

No... you can still do 5 on 5 off. In case you get stuck in traffic, you still have an hour cushion.

tiredofsittin... I'm guessing from your name you're a single driver. It's been said numerous times on the forum that the bigger companies are team oriented. If you're thinking of a move, check the posts (including archives) to find one more fitting a single driver.

Well... a few people have wondered what I've been up to. I think this is a good time to tell. I just got out of a situation that my nephew and I thought would be lucrative, but didn't work out that way. Out of respect to the one who gave us the opportunity, I'll leave it at that. I'm signing on...

If it was the same tail light, maybe you should've gotten the hint the first time.

Bought stock in Exxon... those theiving rats!!! :P

BWAAAAAHEHEHEHE BWAAAAAHEHEHEHEHE!!!!!! :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 Geez... I think I soiled myself!!! :+ :+ :+ :+ :+

A lot of good OOIDA did in lobbying congress. They are nothing compared to the ATA. We (o/os and small businesses) are needed, but not to the extent that they'd recognize our hardships. I've heard of convoys driving slowly, though I don't know the impact that would have. Marches on Washington do...

#3 in Tulsa??? You may as well be in Timbuktu! It's only 360 miles to St.Louis. I know it's a bit far, but it's better than sitting for days n days. Think about it...

Honestly officer... she was dead before I kept dropping her! :7

Trust me... if they put in a national sales tax, what makes you think they'll do away with income tax? It'll just be another way to get money out of us.

Ateam... reminds me of the story of how a POW kept his sanity in a N.Korean prison camp. Locked in a small cell, he started building a house in his mind. Thought about nailing every nail. When he was interrupted, he started over. He was there five years. When he got out, he wrote a book. You...

Just curious... how does one LISTEN to NASCAR??? All ya hear is EEEEEEARRRR EEEEEEEARRRR :7

OK City isn't that good to get something out of. I would've headed to St.Louis. But since you're home, that's a good thing :)

Sometimes I give my neck a massage to loosen up while driving. Just pressure on a stiff muscle gives me something to do and flex my neck at the same time. Whatever you do, don't EVER stare at the truck ahead of you! My dad's friend had a brother who got hypnotised by the truck's lights in front...

A recent question on staying awake made me realize, once again, how valuable my Sirrius is. Curious as to how many of you also rely on that gem of an invention to carry them through 11 hours a day. My wife originally got Sirrius for me when I kept whining that they wanted $40/year to listen to...

I had the same problem till I got Sirrius radio. I usually listen to music during the morning and afternoon, but once 3:00 hits, I turn on Sirrius Right... keeps me going till the wee hours of the morning.
